Hephzibah Akinwale, a 10-year-old girl from the UK, broke the world record for the longest-written novel with her 58,000-word book “Chronicles of The Time Keepers – Whisked Away.” She surpassed the previous record of 44,000 words held by an 11-year-old author. Hephzibah’s achievement not only set a new standard for young authors worldwide but also aims to inspire children, especially those of color, to pursue their creative interests. Her talent has been recognized locally, being selected as one of the top 20 young people to celebrate the Coronation of King Charles III by the East Cambridgeshire District Council.
